What this means
The commission took one clear action that could affect how walking and biking links connect with transit: it approved a letter to MoDOT about the Statewide Active Transportation Plan. Members also reviewed ideas for improving bus stop amenities, including benches and other seating, and talked about how to present transit information at an Earth Day booth. Staff reported the transit operation is steady at 35 drivers, with one more starting soon, but a return to full route service would likely require four to five months of stable staffing.
